Tuesday Gift Cards<\/h4>\n

Apparently this is the week of open loop gift card deals, what a time to be alive! Here are a few more because yesterday wasn\u2019t enough:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gift Card Granny has free shipping on Visa and Mastercard gift cards<\/a> through November 24 with promo code NOV22<\/em>. These are Sutton bank gift cards and typically easy to liquidate in person.<\/li>\n
  2. American Express has several offers<\/a> for a discount at amexgiftcard.com<\/a>:\n

    \u2013 $50 back on $1,000 or more
    \u2013 $20 back on $300 or more
    \u2013 $10 back on $100 or more<\/p>\n

    These are American Express gift cards so money order liquidation and other typical in-store techniques are out. Also, yes, it\u2019s safe to buy these with an American Express. (Thanks to DoC<\/a>)<\/li>\n

  3. I heard from many of you that there\u2019s a special blend of gift cards for sale in store at Target that are quite rewarding for manufactured spend. Always be probing.<\/li>\n
  4. Starting tomorrow and running for a week, Hy-Vee stores will have $10 back on $150 or more in Visa gift cards<\/a>, and likely that means $30 back on a $500 Visa gift card so go nuts.\n

    Remember that if your family lives in flyover country<\/s> Hy-Vee territory and you\u2019re visiting for Thanksgiving, this might be a good money-making escape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Liquidation<\/h4>\n

    Since those American Express cards in particular are hard to liquidate, let\u2019s discuss a few strategies that effectively always work on gift cards from home:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • BravoPay (high fee though, effectively 3.5%)<\/li>\n
    • Kiva (can be zero fee, but there\u2019s a risk of loss and a time component)<\/li>\n
    • Services designed for corporate bill payment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      There are other options too, and they\u2019re almost always a FinTech that\u2019s trying to transfer money from investor\u2019s bank accounts to yours<\/s> solve a problem that didn\u2019t exactly need solving, so look around.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Another form of liquidation, FTX\u2019s FTT coin. (Too soon?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
